http://tshughes.com/film/movie_houses/downtown/ohio/images_400/p27-Marble-Hall-19-Main-400.jpg Marble Hall, a small and poor auditorium at 19 Main Street, was built in the early 1850s and was still being used at the time of the 1937 flood. It closed soon after that event. It was badly arranged and never became very popular. In its last years it was a cheap movie house, specializing in blood-and-thunder films.
